Qoo!

Manufactured by The Cocoa-Cola Company in Japan this mini can (about half the size of a regular can) of Qoo apple juice was WAY too cute to pass up. It didn't make our cheeks rosy though!

pop it...

Have yourself a jolly old time with Jolly Time pop corn. We found it in our supermarket and took it home and yes, a jolly time was had by all.

We love finding products that look as if they have sat on the supermarket shelf forever, stoic and unchanging, waiting for the right buyer. Tortally jelly crystals we are for you, you are for us.

How? With these Thomson ball bearings - for anti-friction linear motion! And the boxes all fit nicely into one another. A snug, well designed family of boxes. Cute!

Ack, this is so cute it hurts! Wonderful vintage Avon packaging from the 1970's. The photo stream from Snaggs is worth a look, there are many many more fantastic Avon characters from all over the world see. Cultural stereotypes ahoy! ;)

Oh hello lilfishstudios, this is a super cute and inventive way to package your goods! These little brooches have a good home in re purposed postcards.

These understated lovelies are handmade by pajarrito lindo to ship small paintings. Awww. Those paintings are well protected in their canvas envelopes, we think.

This simple handmade packaging is super appealing. Better yet it houses handmade figures that'll give you the same satisfied feeling depicted on the box...Thanks tesselate for sharing!

These excellent envelopes are made from the pages of a 1960's medical journal. .tomate depingles. ticks all the right boxes with these babies - recycled, handmade and freakin' nice looking.

karin eriksson received this beautifully illustrated envelope in the mail. We think a lot of sweet, hard work went into this cute package.

pinkhare has packaged up some goods in wonderfully classic fashion. Kraft paper, we love you! Of course, the gift paper, ribbon and lovely birdie trinkets take it to the next level of sweetness. Wouldn't you like to get this in the post?

A Week of Handmade Packaging

This week we're taking a look at the sweetest of all packaging - the handmade package. Here's todays selection from baking with medusa on flickr. We love the re purposed map, the sheared edging and the ribbon that, practically and visually, ties it all together.

Logging Has It's Sweet Side

Another product picked up from our local supermarket, where we had to stifle our giggles upon first sighting. It is an hilarious and cute illustration, typical of much Japanese design we suspect. Ahh the poor bunny, so shocked at the work of the lumberjack! But bunny, the sweets themselves are fairly delicious (biscuit logs encased in chocolate bark) and the lumberjack is surely satisfied with his handiwork.

Buy in Bulk!

How could we not show you this incredible TIN of Skippy peanut butter from the 1930's?! It was picked up in Nevada, U.S.A by roadsidepictures. Heck, we have a (much smaller) jar of Skippy's in the cupboard right now. The label lacks the sheer delight and spontaneity of original though. And it makes no mention of hydrogenation...

Clean, so clean.

This simple, beautiful Ivory Soap packaging was originally uploaded by stewf on flickr. Hmm, do you think it inspired the design of our very own cute packaging banner much? ;)

Sweet Dusters

We picked up these 'panni casa' (clean house?) dusters at our local supermarket recently. Love the stylized illustration and neat use of primary colours. Doesn't it make you want to don an apron and wipe until all the surfaces in your house are dust-free and sparkling?

Welcome
